Lunch along Singapore River

Hubby and me had lunch at one of the restaurant along Boat Quay/Singapore River. We ordered the set menu for two at only $9.80 ++, very worth. If we will to order al carte we could not order too many dishes cause the al carte dishes were only in one size and look too much for us.

Soup of the day is some kind of salted vegetables with duck, tasted very good.

Mango salad

Three different types of spring rolls

Two baskets of assorted dim sums.

Sambal Kangkong

Braised tofu

Dessert of the day

We ordered additional a plate of deep fried baby squid at only $6.

Love the great view as we dined there and enjoyed the cool breeze as it was a very cloudy day.

There were many such restaurants along Boat Quay/Singapore River but please be cautious when ordering food especially seafood. Crabs, lobsters were priced according to market price and double check the price before ordering the seafood. It can costs few hundred dollars for such dishes cause they served very expensive crabs/lobsters,etc.

The chilli crabs served in most places around Singapore are Sri Lankan Crabs and much cheaper. Of course if you dine in fine restaurants, you need to pay for the ambience. It is much cheaper to eat chilli crabs at zhi char(cooked/fry) stalls at hawker centre/coffee shops around Singapore. If there's queue it must be good, if the stalls are quiet means not worth visiting lol.

But some restaurants do serve good chilli crabs at reasonable prices.
